Today is Lantern Festival in China, marking the end of the Spring Festival. Once again I will be enjoying a special festive lunch including tangyuan (sweet glutinous rice balls stuffed with black sesame). DELICIOUS!!! Wish I could share them with all of you.
Although mine will be plain coloured as shown above, they have been known to come in many colours, which is more of a feast for the eyes.
And sometimes with different fillings, but I like the ones with sesame.
Looks like a fun celebration!
As you can see, the lanterns are magnificent. How many times have I said that China is a magical land.
